Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

Thanks. It is in 44 special.
Better yet! The Ruger Blackhawk Flattops in .44 Special are about as close as you can get to Elmer Keith’s No. 5 in a production revolver…Bisley would be closer perhaps but I’m a fan of the standard plow-handle on my single actions.
 
I don’t particularly like the bisley grip. I changed the XR3 to the stainless XR3-red. It fits my hands better. Also fitted an old style hammer so I could fit it to the ears a little better. I ain’t sure if I like the flattop or the regular Blackhawk better. I had a 44 mag Blackhawk with the 4.6” barrel before this. I didn’t care for the unfluted cylinder. This I guess is as close to what I reckon I want. I carry it daily in a simply rugged sourdough pancake holster. I am comfortable with it and it’s as much a part of me as my daily knife. I feel naked without either one.

I am wanting to find a 357 short barrel Blackhawk with the 9mm cylinder. Just for fun I reckon.

I have a single six to match.
 
Me 2. ☹️
The double stack 1911's in 45ACP had the same "problem" or "issue" ... 🙄☹️
Oh well. As the old Sit-Com alleged .... "8 Is Enough" 😁 (but it don't hurt none to carry an extra mag or two ... or three ... 😊)
I have a couple of the Jericho 941 .45 ACP model... or MR Baby Eagle imports. Those CZ clones have the slimmest double stack .45 grips... not unlike a small frame 9mm CZ. but I love a Glock 41 or H&K USP .45 too... I use the medium beavertail backstrap. A G41 MOS with RMR and 16 rounds is pretty good. Baby eagle has 10+1 and a H&K has 12+1.

When I am going light and stealth, this little Sigg rides with me. I don't carry that jumbo congress very often, but it is interesting to me because I carried one just like it for 15 some-odd years every day and wore it out. It has four different pattern blades and that can be a huge plus to me. The 9 mm firearm is capable of really discouraging a bad guy, probably permanently, but not a terrible kicker in the hand. Love that little gun. I stopped using so-called 'defensive' ammunition in my several semi-automatic pistols because every once in awhile they would jam. I just stay with hardball and that ammo will play hell with an enemy just fine. If not, I have already lived a long and rewarding life.

Impressive compact pistol those Sig-Sauers, looks like it's got what it takes. Please mail me one here in Europe..😍☠️😻

The Böker Congress looks surprisingly well matched to this and gives a great idea of size.

Thanks, Will

Very nice looking! Gotta love nice wood and blued steel on a firearm. I belong to a few gun forums and one in particular has a running wood and blued steel pic thread. Thank you for posting this.
I have a hard time passing up a beautiful rifle or shotgun if I can afford it. I found that one at a local gun show 6 or 7 years ago and just had to have it.
